I had the same problem as you!! I've also found that my maytag washer only had two springs on the left and the right side was empty. i thought something was wrong too, but ive found that they only sell the replacement springs in sets of two. However it still doesnt seem to be enough to keep the tention on the belts... If you figure it out, i hope you'll let me know!
